Manage Local Administrators and Operators
-----------------------------------------

Default local VOSS-4-UC administrators are created when provider, reseller,
customer, and site hierarchy nodes are established. Use this procedure to modify
or create more local administrators or operators. Also use this procedure to create
administrators for intermediate nodes.

An administrator for a particular hierarchy level can create or modify the
administrators and operators at that hierarchy level and any level below.
For example, a Customer XYZ administrator can create other Customer XYZ
administrators and site administrators for Customer XYZ.

Procedure
.........

1. Log in as an administrator.
#. To create or modify an administrator or operator at a level below your
   current level, set the hierarchy path at the top of the window.
   If you have signed in as provider administrator, and want to create a
   customer administrator, set the hierarchy path to the customer for
   which you want to create the administrator.
#. Open the **Admins** form (default menu **User Management > Admins**).
   Note that this form provides a subset of the tabs and fields available
   on the **Users** form - for more input field details, refer to :ref:`create_a_user`.
#. At a minimum, complete these fields:
